From the Pastor’s Desk Dear Parishioners, Happy Epiphany!
Today’s Solemnity is often called “Little Christmas.” It celebrates
the coming of the “three kings,” the “magi” or “wise men,” to the
Infant Jesus and recalls how they brought Him gifts of gold,
frankincense and myrhh. This event is recounted in the Gospel of
St. Matthew (2:1-12). The term “Epiphany” comes from the Greek
word, “epiphanein,” meaning a “showing,” “appearance or
revelation.” In the persons of these rather exotic figures from the
East, we learn that Jesus came as a Savior not only for the Jewish
people but for all peoples. The Gospel does not specify that there
were three magi, but tradition presumed this because three gifts
are mentioned. By the 9th century, legends gave the Magi names:
Melchior, who offered gold; Casper, who brought frankincense, and
Balthasar, who presented myrrh. Their gifts reveal the Infant’s
identify! The gold denotes His Kingship; the frankincense, His
divinity (incense was used in temple worship); and the myrrh His
humanity (Myrrh was used in burial rites and points us to the
Lord’s sacrificial death for our salvation.) The Magi remind us of
our duty to offer the Lord the gift of ourselves! Our gift of gold
is using the gifts and talents God has given us for the glory of
God and in the service of others. Our gift of frankincense could be
the reverence and attention with which we worship. The gift of
myrrh are the sacrifices that we can offer throughout each day and
the manner in which we take up our daily cross. With affection,
Msgr. Gervasio

Mesaj ki soti nan biwo Kiré-a Frè-m ak Sè-m yo, Bòn Fèt Epifani!
Fèt Solanèl jodia trè souvan rele "Ti Fet Nwèl". Li selebre rive "3
wa maj yo" oswa " moun ki gen gwo lespri yo", a Ti BéBé Jezi epi
raple nou kouman yo te pote kado lò, lansan ak pafen santi bon. Nou
jwenn Levanjil sa a nan Matye (2:1-12). Tèm "Epifani" soti nan mo
Grèk "Epiphanein" ki vle di "montre", "aparas oswa revelasyon". Nan
pesonaj figi ekszotik sa a ki soti nan zòn Lès, nou apran ke Jezi
te vini pa sèlman pou pèp jwif yo men pou tout pèp. Levanjil la pat
presize ke te gen 3 wa maj, men tradisyon an prezime sa paske 3
kado yo te mansyone. Nan 9e syèk, lejand yo te bay chak wa maj yo
yon non: Melchior, ki te ofri lò a; Gaspa, moun ki te pote lansan
an; ak Baltazar ki te prezante losyon santi bon. Kado sa yo revele
idantite Ti Bebe a! Lò a vle di otorite Li kòm Wa; lansan an endike
divinite Li, (lansan an te itilize nan Tanp adorasyon an), epi
pafen santi bon an menm se imilite Li (pafen santi bon sa a te
itilize nan rit finerè epi endike nou sakrifis lanmò Granmèt la pou
sove nou). Wa maj yo raple nou devwa nou pou nou ofri tout nou menm
a GranMèt la! Kado lò nou an se lè nap itilize don ak talan nou yo
ke Bondye ban nou pou nou fè lwanj pou Li epi sèvi Li nan lòt moun.
Kado lansan ta kapab reverans ak atansyon a Sila ke nou ap adore a.
Kado pafen santi bon yo, se sakrifis yo ke nap ofri chak jou yo ak
fason nap pote kwa nou chak jou. Avèk afeksyon,
Msgr. Gervasio

the parish at Christmas. The Christmas appeal is the most important

obligations of our parish and its school. Gifts are still being
received and we shall announce the collection total in a few weeks.
Along with this report we shall provide an accounting of the
appeal’s disbursements. Thanks for your goodness and loyalty to the
parish.
No Children's Liturgy on January 29 There will be no Children's
Liturgy of the Word on January 29 so that children may remain
upstairs for the celebration of Catholic Schools Week.

Tax Info In order to ensure that all donations are reflected,
contribution statements will not be available until the end of
January. If you would like to pick up a copy of your 2016
contribution statement, please call the parish office (587-4372)
and leave your name and phone number with your request. You will be
told when the statement will be available. If you would prefer to
have your statement mailed to you, please put a business-size
self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) in the collection basket or
mail or drop one off to the parish office (beneath Our Lady of
Sorrows Church). Statements will be mailed only to those who have
provided a SASE.
Requirements for Baptism Attend a Pre-Baptism Instruction
Session—This is usually held on the 2nd Thursday of the month at
Our Lady of Sorrows Church Meeting Room, at 7:00 p.m. If you live
outside the parish territory, you may attend an instruction in a
parish nearby. Please submit a letter from that parish verifying
your attendance. Choose a sponsor/godparent—The role of sponsor or
godparent is that of modeling Catholic life. We ask that this be
confirmed by submitting a letter or certificate of eligibility from
the parish that the sponsor/godparent currently attends. They need
not submit their own certificates of baptism and/or confirmation.
In order to be a godparent, one must be: at least 16 years old (our
pastor may dispense
this requirement if the person has received Confirmation);
a Catholic who has received the sacraments of Holy Eucharist and
Confirmation;
in a valid marriage, if married, in accord with Church law;
and
leading a life in harmony with the Catholic faith; While the
common practice is to name two godparents (male and female), only
one godparent is required. Once cannot have two godparents of the
same sex. A non-Catholic Christian, while unable to serve as a
godparent, may be admitted as a "Christian Witness." A Catholic who
does not meet the qualifications to be a godparent is not permitted
as a Christian Witness. For more information, please contact the
Parish Office (587-4372; [email protected]).

Welcome! A hearty welcome is extended to the following new
parishioners and their families:
Sarah Calixte Lynette & Adrian Haynes
Justin Keegan Bill & Cindy Rhodes
Eileen Russo Ralph Sheffield
Keep Us Posted—We Care!
Whether you registered as a parishioner seven years ago or seven
times seven years ago, things change. Your household grows as you
welcome babies; it shrinks as your adult children move out to
pursue a career. Elderly parents may move in with you or someone in
your family may need to be moved to a skilled nursing care
facility. You may upsize or downsize, moving within or out of the
parish boundaries. We care about the changes in your life, so
please keep us informed if one of your loved ones is hospitalized
or moves into assisted living or a nursing home. Let us know when
you’re moving—we may not join your painting party, but we will
update our records. And please explain to your children that once
they’re out of your home and living independently, they need to
register on their own. This is a simple task but is very helpful
when the time comes to request a letter of eligibility to serve as
a sponsor for baptism and/or confirmation as well as letters of
reference or recommendation.
The K of C Invites You What: Family Movie Night: Risen When:
Wednesday, January 25, at 7:00 p.m. Where: Columbus Hall, 1451
Klockner Road, Hamilton NJ 08619 Cost: Admission is free and light
refreshments will be provided free of charge.
Risen (PG-13; 1 hr., 47 min; 2016) In AD 33, a Roman Tribune in
Judea is tasked to find the missing body of an executed Jewish man
rumored
to have risen from the dead. "...adopts a lighter, more playful
tone than most Hollywood biblical epics...as it tells a
slow-moving
story of spiritual awakening." From a Variety review by Justin
Chang. "Risen accomplishes something quite remarkable: It tells the
familiar, timeless story of Jesus' death and resurrection from a
fresh vantage point." From PluggedIn.com.
Caring Hearts Report During December, more than 265 hours of
service (e.g., visiting, transportation, shopping, reassurance
calls, paperwork assistance, chores, housekeeping, and the delivery
of Christmas baskets) were provided by 44 volunteers to 45 persons.
Caring Hearts volunteers provide non-medical services to our
homebound elderly and disabled neighbors. If you would like more
information on joining this satisfying ministry, either as a
caregiver or a care receiver, please call Anne at 586-6596.

News from Our Parish School Baby, it's cold outside! Yes, the
winter chill of January has found us but the warmth of good friends
keeps us comfortable! Each morning, our dedicated patrols from
Grade 5 brave the cold weather to welcome our students into school.
Colin McCormick and Mary O'Shaunesey open each car door with a
smile and a welcoming hello. Along with faculty representatives,
the children ensure that each student is given the help they need
to exit their cars and manage their belongings. Their good works
haven't gone unnoticed. The many waves, smiles and shouts of
"Thanks" pepper the morning routine, but it was a welcome morning
basket that really put the "warmth in their tummies!” The Sharkey
Family (Ben and Kate) surprised the Morning Patrols with a gift of
warmth—a basket of cocoa, warm cider, marshmallows, and safety
cups! On these chilly mornings, they now can stop by the Office to
select from their special basket of warmth! Many thanks go out to
the Fifth Grade children that apply for this Patrol position for
their determination, diligence and caring behaviors. These are the
first smiling faces that greet the students each morning. They set
the pace for the day! And most sincere thanks to the Starkey Family
for their special thank you!

school in action. Call us for an appointment, or just stop by—you

surprisingly affordable!

Adoration The Blessed Sacrament will be placed upon the altar

our time. He wants us to come to Him bringing our needs, anxieties,
joys, and thanks. Our Lady of Sorrows Church also is open during
our office hours. Why not stop for even a brief moment to rejoice
in the Lord’s Presence?

March for Life – Washington, D.C. 44th Anniversary of Roe v.
Wade Decision
Join pilgrims from all over the United States in sending a clear
message that we are committed to defending life—all life from
conception to natural death. We cannot and will not accept the
continuing slaughter of innocent unborn babies, a slaughter that
has prevented over 50 million babies from ever being born and thus
experiencing the joys of life and freedom our wonderful country
provides. Both the Hamilton and St. Gregory the Great Councils of
the Knights of Columbus are once again co-sponsoring a bus trip to
Washington, D.C., for those who would like to participate in the
2017 Right to Life March, scheduled for Friday, January 27. Please
join your fellow parishioners and hundreds of thousands of others
in our quest to defend the right of all, born and unborn, to that
precious gift from God—Life. The Right to Life March is a very
special event, with sincere and dedicated people of all ages and
backgrounds. The bus will leave Our Lady of Sorrows’ parking lot at
7:30 a.m. and return by 9:30 p.m. The cost is still only $15 per
adult and $5 per child. If you are interested in reserving space or
would like to know more about the trip, call Rich or Mary Morey at
588-8921. We will operate on a first-come, first serve basis, so
please make your reservations as soon as possible. We urge you to
consider joining us this year.
